DCOrange Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Gugny said: Just got this from our local weekly paper (Glens Falls Chronicle) and wanted to share: Glens Falls native JG3 today announced his current plans as he heads towards his fifth and final year of college basketball eligibility. He said he will enter the 2023 NBA Draft Process, but also maintain collegiate eligibility and enter the transfer portal. "From the time I was a little kid, I've been committed with a relentless pursuit to play the game of basketball at the highest level. My focus has been and continues to be living out that dream," he wrote on Instagram. "I will be continuing my dream by entering the 2023 NBA Draft process while at the same time maintaining my collegiate eligibility. With that said, I will also be entering the Transfer Portal to keep my options open and gather as much information as possible in order for me to make the most informed decision about my basketball future." "I want to express my utmost gratitude to my family, Coach Boeheim, and Orange Nation for the past four seasons. Thank you to every fan and supporter who has impacted me in a positive manner and has helped shape who I am today. I am confident in God's plan and trust that the next chapter will be amazing. I'm grateful for what has taken place on the journey thus far and am looking forward to what my future holds." I hope he finds success whereever he ends up next. He obviously won't be drafted in the NBA so I imagine he'll end up transferring somewhere. Curious to see where he lands. It's a shame he came to Syracuse at a time where our talent level was so low; I think if he were on the better teams of years past, he would have been a fan favorite for us but alas, that wasn't in the cards. Still hoping we get Judah back, but I think we'll likely have an upgraded guard rotation next season regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that, if Fredette truly enjoys playing in China, then he'll recommend that to Girard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy like that can end up in Syracuse after his career, with solid connections to the school And city and lots of opportunities. I think if he stayed and Mintz left, he would be getting serious minutes and decent NIL. Not sure why he would transfer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was likely told he wouldn’t get many minutes this year regardless of Mintz. He might prefer playing a bench role for a title contender or being a starter somewhere else. Could be a pride thing too; can’t be easy returning for a 5th year just to give up the starting spot you’ve had all 4 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone else online was saying that word going around the Final Four was that it would come down to us and Georgetown so we shall see.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Welp, looks official. Transfer portal.. and over NIL money. This seems bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Needless to say this is a pretty brutal loss, particularly with how much it caught our staff off guard. They believed he was returning, and by all indications, it seemed like Jesse believed Jesse was returning too. Ultimately if I had to pick one player to come back next year it would easily be Judah, but this now makes me more nervous that Judah might be gone too and if that happens, the wheels could really start to come off. Perhaps we'll aggressively pursue Dickinson now, but my hopes on that front aren't super high. I do tend to believe Jesse would likely be less valuable in Autry's system than he was in Boeheim's though. It's possible, albeit very unlikely, that this could end up being okay for us.

The Poojer Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It's weird because I've seen comments that Edwards' visa prohibits him from receiving money from US companies, couple this with Weitsman pulling out of the NIL game thanks to the chancellor.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I just heard Kentucky is the favorite to land Jesse Edwards. The Syracuse “consortium” did the best they could to match (and even go beyond) what Kentucky could do in terms of NIL money, but in the end it sounds like Kentucky may end up winning out here. Again, just what I’m hearing from a source. Take it for what it’s worth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
